tsaikoTonight's dinner was fried pork chops, green beans, and salad from the container garden. Mmm... So very good. I'm obviously a better cook than I realized. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rykaine passed on a very nice crochet pattern for fingerless gloves that doesn't require me to crochet in back loops in order to do. I'm going to give it a try and see if I can get some gloves done. I owe nikerymis a drabble. Next week I am flying to Atlanta to visit with my family. I come back the following Monday.
Finally, I was supposed to get my new laptop from Dell last week. They shipped it to Raleigh instead despite the fact we told them twice (once in July when I was having problems with the AC adapter and again in email for this call that we no longer lived in NC and what are new address was). We were then told that it would be shipped again and we could expect it by Wednesday. Miome got a call yesterday from the shipping company saying they'd tried to deliver it to Raleigh, but no one was there to sign for it. *bangs head on desk*
Miome also spoke to a high up supervisor about the whole mess (we started this whole mess in mid-October). He was very confused as to why we were directed into the program for getting a different type of laptop since we could have just gotten the exact same laptop as my old one as a replacement. This is what we wanted in the first place. Sigh... instead I'll get a different laptop that will need to have all the old software reloaded onto it. That's assuming it's not shipped to Raleigh AGAIN. At this point, if they told me that the delivery truck the laptop was on had a freak accident with a car full of midget clowns and a donkey that caused the laptop to spontaneously combust, sending flying shrapnel into the river and incidentally killing a hidden ninja, I wouldn't be surprised. After all, everything else about this whole mess has been a farce.
Oh well. At least I have cinnamon cookies my girlfriend made to keep me company.
